Dampegheest Bekem is a Rauchbier from Brouwerij Dampegheest in Limmen, brewed with passion and technical craftsmanship. This dark amber beer at 6.5% ABV presents a characteristic smoky nose with malty undertones. The flavour is distinctly malty with subtle smoke signals, supported by hints of caramel and roasted notes.

The brewery, housed in a former cheese warehouse, uses Dutch ingredients where possible and a self-designed brewing installation. Bekem is an intense and challenging beer that eschews marketing pretence—an honest, artisanally crafted specialty.
